When Pre-Order Bonuses Were Good
Remember before developers decided to hold in-game content hostage, you actually got stuff worthwhile that weren't characters, weapons, missions, skins, or maps but physical items?
Share with us what you got back in that golden age before it got all defiled.
For instance, when I pre-ordered Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, I got a T-shirt. Y'know. Stuff like that.

Halo 4 Edition 360.
That's basically my only experience with it, and I was lucky to get back in town in time to pick it up before my reservation went out.
Edit: BTW, do they still produce Cole MacGrath's sling backpack? I have one already, but I'd like to know if I can still replace it if I ever need to.

The only collectors edition I got was Half-Life 2. It was a ****ing t-shirt. Waste of money.
Never bought a collector edition again.
But I remember the reason behind pre-orders was because stores didn't stock a ton of copies in the store. I used to pre-order so I can actually get a copy of the game.
For instance, when I was in Ottawa, I tried to pick up RE4 because I read reviews stating it was amazing so I went to the store I usually go to and it was all gone. I literally took the bus for 3 hours trying to look for a copy and finally did and it was one of the last copies they had. Same thing happened with GTA San Andreas on the PC (and I think I still have that copy with the Hot Coffee content on it)

I don't think I ever knew any decent pre-Order bonuses.
Frankly, this is something that should be done each new Generation of consoles, if you preorder the console it comes with 20 virtual games from older générations or something like that. The 3DS ambassador exclusives remain more attractive than pretty much everything I've seen as a preorder gimmick.

True. The only problem is that you have no idea of the quality of the products you are getting with the collectors edition.
It might be a shirt or something but it could be a piece of shit...
